Class Update
With optimism at the ongoing updates to state and local health regulations, we present the upcoming class schedule for the spring and summer sessions. Keeping the health and safety of our students, instructors, and staff at the forefront of our minds, we are making several changes to this season's classes. For example, we are significantly limiting class sizes. Once open, we will also be taking every precaution regarding the cleaning and maintenance of our facilitates. Due to the uncertainty of the future, we may not be able to run this session as planned. In the event of our cancellation, we will issue refunds to all parties affected. Head to huntingtonbeachca.gov for updated class information! Thank you for your patience and continued support of HBAC.
